I'd LOVE to see a game where, in "multiplayer" mode, you could have different players each take a STATION on the boat and run their stations together in real time.
Obviously, some players would learn their stations better than others and would be more often picked as time goes on by captains as crewmembers, etc...
The ongoing saga's of each of the boats alone, would be outstanding!

Twould be fun!

Dangerous Waters does this now for a number of different platforms... Subs, Frigates, Helo's and Planes.

Really! I thought I'd tried it out, but didn't notice that! I'll have to give it another look then...
:up:

Thanks!

All of the things mentioned above and bellow :)
More Radio Traffic...
Make this tread sticky, or is it to early ? :)

what i really want is for them do redo the navigation model to simulate real life. maybe players could navigate manually using the stars and a sextant.

"sims" on a u-boat.

Tell crew when to get up, go to station, eat, crap, etc...

:rotfl: Just kidding. It would be boring. But imagine it for a second... the intense micromanigment of the sims. "Oops... Time to have Hanz go to the head, hes holding his crotch and jumping up and down in the aft torpedo room"

I'd just like to see SH4. I've been waiting for a chance to get out of my SSN and into a Gato or Balao class fleet sub. Of course reading "Thunder Below" isn't helping any..... :rotfl:

I just want more of SH3 - but even better :D
A larger variety of ships, more subs to choose from, mechanical problems, a more realistic AI, etc.

My two main things would be;
1, Being able to run around your boat FPS style, climbing up ladders, crawling into a torp tube, diving off the tower to swim, exploring the whole sub :)
2, A more interesting crew. I've read a few previews of a upcoming WWII RTS called Company of Hero's that claimes it will have over 2,500 animations for each soldier, like lighting cigeretts, cleaning their guns, some of the walk cautiously while others are faster and careless. If they can do it, I'm sure we could have a crew that is always doing something interesting that makes them seem more real than like the robots they are now..

And one more I just remembered - Showing cutscenes or something when you are promoted, captured, retired, dock, whatever.


Though that will more likely wait until SH5.

Guys I love the suggestions about better a better save game system, limited provisions, 3D interior (my girlfriends only gripe against the game) and wolfpacks.

But about SH 3 - great improvement agianst sh 2 and the best addition to my game collection in a long time. It knocks Blitzkrieg out of this spot after it stayed there for almost 2 years.

Why would you prefer a movie when in Silent Hunter III you can return in port by yourself? :88)

In the old SH people complain that you can't return to port by yourself and you should see a movie that tells you that. Now you have this feature in Silent Hunter III and you don't use it! :doh:

You could go with the sub till you've reached the dock! What is more pleasant than girls throwing flowers at you and a fanfare?

I second this idea! :up:

I've been having to keep my notes in a notebook, and I would much rather have an ingame logbook that I can export and post...

Yeah, but are there girls throwing flowers and a band playing when you return home? And I want that damned band to play something besides the Nationalhymne! Not that I don't like Haydn's melody, but it's not what was typically played.

Kissaki 10-25-05 01:09 PM

Oh! By Jove, I want realistic winds! 15 m/s are two full categories below storm. Light storm begins at 20.8 m/s, and hurricanes are from 32.6 m/s and up. I've been to see in hurricanes, and those flak gunners have nothing to complain about. :nope:
